Eternal Beast Taming Family

As soon as Chu Jingyu opened the gate of the courtyard, the village chief rushed in without any regard for his image, almost falling to the ground. It was Chu Jingyu who helped him up and steadied him.

"Brother Chu, something's happened! Something's happened at the new mine!"

The village chief's gray trousers were covered in yellow mud, and he had come in a hurry. This time, no able-bodied young men accompanied him up the mountain.

Chu Jingyu, supporting the village chief's arm, led him into the house, asking questions as they went.

"What happened? Is it because of the weather?"

Upon entering the main room, the warm light inside allowed one to clearly see the sorrow on the village chief's face.

"The new mine was attacked by something unknown this afternoon, and Erlong and Qinghe have lost their lives."

Moreover, a mine collapse has blocked the entrance and exit, and there are still more than a dozen young men from the village trapped inside. Brother Chu, you are the only contract master here, please go and rescue them.

As he spoke, the village chief bent his knees and was about to kneel down.

Chu Jingyu swiftly grabbed the old man, preventing him from actually kneeling down.

"Did you get a clear look at the attacking creature?"

"No, they only said they saw a dark shadow pass by. Erlong and Qinghe didn't even have time to react before bloody holes appeared in their chests."

By the end, the village chief's face had grown increasingly ashen.

Listening to what the village chief said, Chu Jingyu frowned deeply. Logically speaking, he had already had the "Golden Jade Beast" process the mine before it was opened.

Ordinary beasts, upon sensing the aura left by the "Golden Jade Beast," a beast of extraordinary rank, will naturally obediently detour.

Moreover, the only ones capable of rendering mortals utterly powerless are source beasts of the same rank.

Having made up his mind, Chu Jingyu helped the village chief sit down in a chair and brushed the snow off his shoulders.

"Village chief, don't panic. The rescue needs careful planning. But why are you the only one at my house? Where's Erzhuang, who usually keeps you company?"

Hearing Chu Jingyu's words, the village chief's face became even more sorrowful. "Erzhuang is also trapped in that cave. I have to come by myself. It's a matter of life and death, Brother Chu. When do you think we should set off?"

Chu Jingyu brought over a cup of hot water and handed it to the village chief. As the village chief took it, Chu Jingyu flipped his palm over, and his hand, which was filled with spiritual light, patted the village chief's chest.

In an instant, a dark shadow burst out from behind the village chief.

At the same time, Chu Jingyu shouted, "Get behind me!"

The incident happened so suddenly that, after a moment of shock, the Chu family members hurried toward the area closer to the Eight Immortals Table in the main room.

The village chief slumped down beside the dining table, his fate unknown.

The shadowy figure crashed into the door frame, revealing its full form.

It looked like a human male, but its head was bald and covered with many sharp spikes. Its blue face had strange and exaggerated dark gray patterns.

Moreover, it only has a thin upper body, while its lower body is composed of pure black smoke, resembling a half-ghost.

Chu Jingyu looked at the strange creature in front of him and slowly uttered its name, "Bewitching Heart Ghost, this legendary source beast, I have actually been fortunate enough to encounter it today."

The "Bewitching Ghost," leaning against the doorframe, grinned with an exaggeratedly large smile. "You old man, you know quite a lot. But I'm curious, how did you see through my disguise?"

Chu Jingyu smiled slightly, and the "Golden Jade Beast" crawled out from the open space in front of him, its pincers slowly swinging and making a creaking sound.

"It's simple. Without someone helping him, the village chief at his age definitely wouldn't be able to get to my house. Besides, there's no such person as Zhuang Erlang in Fuhe Village. The village chief must be a fake."

The "Bewitching Ghost" glanced warily at the "Golden Jade Beast" waving its pincers at it on the ground. It was only at the upper level of the mortal rank, and the obvious difference in rank made it somewhat unable to withstand the pressure from the "Golden Jade Beast".

"Let me leave, and I'll ask my father to spare the villagers, okay?"

"Father?" Chu Jingyu repeated the word, his sharp gaze seemingly able to see through the heart of the "Bewitching Ghost".

"What do the lives and deaths of those villagers have to do with our Chu family?"

"What?" "Bewitching Ghost" exclaimed in surprise, then, as if realizing something, it rushed out of the courtyard without looking back.

However, as soon as they arrived in the courtyard covered in white snow, a patch of ground in front of them suddenly bulged up, and a "Golden Jade Beast" with scales covering its body emerged from the ground.

The gleaming pincers attacked the lower half of the "Bewitching Demon" from below.

Although it is called "Bewitching Ghost" and has the special ability to reside in the human heart, it is not a soul that is truly immune to physical damage.

Unable to dodge in time, the "Bewitching Demon" had a piece of its tail, which was in the form of smoke, torn off instantly, and its floating body fell to the ground.

The "Bewitching Ghost" rolled to the side, dodging the "Golden Jade Beast's" second attack.

"You don't care about the lives of those villagers, but don't you care about your son's life? I have a way to cure the curse on him."

After hearing it say this, the "Golden Jade Beast," which was still about to attack, seemed to receive some command, and its attacking pincers stopped in front of the "Bewitching Ghost's" chest.

Chu Jingyu stood in the doorway, warm light from inside the room streaming in from all around him, leaving only his face hidden in shadow.

"Oh, what's your plan?" There was a hint of coldness in his voice.

"Go north over seven mountains, and you'll find a sacred pool with a pure moon lotus in it. If you eat just one of its petals, you can break the curse on your son."

Seemingly afraid that Chu Jingyu's patience would run out, the "Bewitching Ghost" spoke extremely quickly, but its tone seemed a little strange, making people unable to help but listen carefully to what it had to say.

"If you are afraid of encountering any danger, you can take me to the mine and exchange me with my father. My father has a petal of the Pure Moon Lotus."

"Sigh~" A long sigh came from Chu Jingyu's chest, "Unfortunately, it's fake."

Before he could finish speaking, with a "plop," the "Golden Jade Beast's" pincers swiftly pierced the "Bewitching Demon's" chest.

The "Bewitching Ghost" stared wide-eyed in resentment, then its entire body dissipated into blue-black smoke, finally leaving behind a pale blue crystal.

Chu Jingyu slowly walked into the courtyard, picked up the blue crystal, and murmured softly,

"The Bewitching Ghost has no father; it is merely a special source beast born from the spiritual essence of a human after death, which is infected by the primordial energy of heaven and earth."

Although Chu Jingyu is a mid-level contract master of a different rank, he has rarely made a move in recent years, and probably only Chu Qinhui has experience with such a battle scene.

After the death of the "Bewitching Ghost," Chu Qinhui remained calm, while Jiang Nian's face turned pale, as if she still felt some fear.

Chu Shengfan seemed lost in thought, Chu Shenghan's eyes were full of longing, and Chu Shengyuan just clapped and cheered excitedly, calling him a very good 'shill'.

With the death of this "Bewitching Ghost," Chu Mu, who had just watched a battle scene for free, had a new section opened in his "Nameless Book."

"Origin Beast Encyclopedia"

After opening it, Chu Mu looked at the information about the "Bewitching Ghost" that appeared on it and fell into deep thought.
